I am in awe. This book was so so so beautifully written. I cannot believe how many DETAILS went into this book. How can one person think of all these plot twists and manage to tie it all up as well?

Unlike other books, I genuinely looked forward to each person's point of view -- I'm glad we got to see Wylan's as well. So many things happened, but most of all, I loved seeing each character's development. Even though the hopeless romantic in me would've loved to see Kaz and Inej get together, deep down I commend Inej for following what she knows she wants and not settling for a life where she wouldn't be happy. Seeing Jesper's progress on himself was extremely satisfying as well. As for Nina and Matthias? I BAWLED. Absolutely unnecessary and necessary at the same time.

Bardugo portrays each of the characters so well. Truly and truly, I want to read this series again just to pick up on all the details I missed the first time around. Perfection in a series.

Bardugo does morally gray characters exceptionally well. I love how she shows tiny bits of each character slowly, so you feel like you’re actually getting to know a person in real time. So well written with twists and turns - I loved the ride this book took me on!
